摘要

在整个国家社会主义时期，水被视为巨大变革力量的工具，水专家被视为这种变革的守护者，我们创造了“水社会主义”一词。水是一种稀缺而重要的自然资源，它的重新配置在很大程度上与社会变革有关，并设想向社会主义和最终的共产主义社会过渡。在西方，随着20世纪60年代反思性现代性的到来，水力专家(水力专家)和水管理“文明使命”(水力使命)的愿景逐渐消失，但在社会主义的捷克斯洛伐克，情况却不同。尽管他们面临着类似的挑战(环境问题，节约)，但国家社会主义的技术官僚特征使社会主义水利工程师能够确保他们在水的变革力量方面的地位和信仰。

Building hydrosocialism in Czechoslovakia

Throughout the period of state socialism, water was viewed as an instrument of immense transformative power and water experts were seen as guardians of such transformation, a transformation for which we coin the term 'hydrosocialism'. A reconfiguration of water, a scarce and vital natural resource, was to a great extent identified with social change and envisioned transition to socialist and eventually communist society. While in the West, hydraulic experts (hydrocrats) and the vision of a 'civilising mission' of water management (hydraulic mission) gradually faded away with the arrival of reflexive modernity from the 1960s, in socialist Czechoslovakia the situation was different. Despite the fact they faced analogous challenges (environmental issues, economisation), the technocratic character of state socialism enabled socialist hydraulic engineers to secure their position and belief in transformative powers of water.

期刊介绍： The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
